Tunnel Distribution Boxes (TDBs) are built to endure extreme conditions such as dust, water ingress, concrete casting, and mechanical impacts. They generally feature heavy-duty steel casings and high-quality internal components including circuit breakers, transformers, switches, and busbars, all of which contribute significantly to the overall weight of the unit . The steel enclosure alone can add several tens of kilograms depending on the size and thickness, while internal electrical components further increase the mass.
While exact weights vary by manufacturer and configuration, a typical medium-sized tunnel distribution box with steel casing and standard LV components can weigh several hundred kilograms, and larger units with transformers and multiple outputs can exceed 1,000 kg. For precise values, manufacturers provide datasheets specifying dimensions, material thickness, and component weights . In summary, the weight of a Tunnel Distribution Box is determined by its enclosure, internal electrical components, and compliance features, and must be considered in planning for installation, structural support, and safe operation in tunnel environments.
